Air Battle


The Aurum are nearly on the ropes. The combined forces of the Underworld and Nature, Palutena, Pit, and Pyrrhon launch a massive counterattack on the Aurum Brain itself. Undeterred by this combined force, the Aurum resistance has only grown stronger and more fanatical.

The hull of the mother ship can be especially hectic as you fly past Aurum Cruisers. When you arrive at a breach in the hull, Recovery Orbs wait to be collected. It’s possible Pit could use some healing by now.

Sios infest the main route to the Aurum Brain. The gravity fields they fire can hold Pit in place while other Aurum try to finish him off. Compared to what happened outside of the ship, the defenses here seem rather thin.

The Aurum Brain itself summons the full array of its forces to defend itself, and things seem to go well, until Pyrrhon gets involved, flying face-first into the brain.

This is not good. This is not good at all.

The resulting blast forces Palutena to pull Pit out of the ship at high speed. Unconcerned that their Aurum Brain has just made explosive contact with a sun god, the Aurum continue to attack as you make your escape.

Pit’s concern with Pyrrhon’s well-being turns to shock. The sun god has betrayed the pantheon, and now controls the entire Aurum fleet. Hades says it best: “Oh, snap!”

Viridi does not waste any time launching her remaining reset bomb at Pyrrhon’s new digs. It goes much worse than expected. And the bad news keeps flowing, as Palutena reminds Pit that the power of flight is about to run out. She tries to teleport her servant out of the battle, but Pyrrhon prevents even that. Soon, Pit’s wings begin to burn up, Palutena’s magic having exceeded its limits.

As Pit falls to his doom, Viridi steps in once more, offering a platform to land safely on. Simply line up the targets as Pit falls, and Viridi will take care of the rest. This battle isn’t over by a long shot.
